Services
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses magnetic pulses to target brain regions involved in mood regulation. This non-invasive treatment addresses depression, OCD, and chronic insomnia through personalized protocols. Patients receive sessions over several weeks with monitoring by trained technicians to optimize outcomes.
Spravato Treatment
Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray treats treatment-resistant depression under medical supervision. Patients self-administer doses in-clinic while receiving concurrent psychiatric care. This FDA-approved option provides rapid symptom relief for adults who haven't responded to traditional antidepressants.
ADHD Testing
Comprehensive ADHD evaluations include clinical interviews, symptom assessments, and cognitive testing for children and adults. We develop individualized treatment plans combining behavioral therapy, counseling, and medication management to improve focus and daily functioning.
Genetic Testing
Genetic testing analyzes DNA markers affecting medication metabolism through cheek swab samples. Results guide personalized psychopharmacology decisions, reducing trial-and-error prescribing while optimizing treatment effectiveness and minimizing adverse reactions for mental health conditions.
Telemedicine
Secure telemedicine appointments enable remote psychiatric evaluations and medication management via mobile devices or computers. This service maintains care continuity for patients with scheduling challenges while ensuring compliance with insurance requirements and clinical standards.
